FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention is concerned with novel aniline derivatives, their manufacture and their use as medicaments. The compounds of the present invention inhibit 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (EC5.4.99.) which is required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ergosterol and other sterols.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Causal risk factors that directly promote the development of coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis include elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), hypertension, cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus. Other synergistic risk factors include elevated concentrations of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins, small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), and homocysteine. Predisposing risk factors modify the causal or conditional risk factors and thus affect atherogenesis indirectly. The predisposing risk factors are obesity, physical inactivity, family history of premature CVD, and male sex. The strong connection between coronary heart disease (CHD) and high LDL-C levels in plasma, and the therapeutic advantage of lowering elevated LDL-C levels are now well established (Gotto et al., Circulation 81, 1990, 1721-1733; Stein et al., Nutr. Metab. Cardiovasc. Dis. 2, 1992, 113-156; Illingworth, Med. Clin. North. Am. 84, 2000, 23-42). Cholesterol-rich, sometimes unstable, atherosclerotic plaques lead to the occlusion of blood vessels resulting in an ischemia or an infarct. Studies with respect to primary prophylaxis have shown that a lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in plasma reduces the frequency of non-fatal incidences of CHD, while the overall morbidity remains unchanged. The lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in patients with pre-established CHD (secondary intervention) reduces CHD mortality and morbidity; meta-analysis of different studies shows that this decrease is proportional to the reduction of the LDL-C (Ross et al., Arch. Intern. Med. 159, 1999, 1793-1802).

[0003] The clinical advantage of cholesterol lowering is greater for patients with pre-established CHD than for asymptomatic persons with hypercholesterolemia. According to current guidelines, cholesterol lowering treatment is recommended for patients who had survived a myocardial infarct or patients suffering from angina pectoris or another atherosclerotic disease, with a target LDL-C level of 100 mg/dl.

[0004] Preparations such as bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, nicotinic acid, probucol as well as statins, i.e. HMG-Co-A reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin and atorvastatin, are used for usual standard therapies. The best statins reduce plasma LDL-C effectively by at least 40%, and also plasma triglycerides, a synergistic risk factor, but less effectively. In contrast, fibrates reduce plasma triglycerides effectively, but not LDL-C. Combination of a statin and a fibrate proved to be very efficacious in lowering LDL-C and triglycerides (Ellen and McPherson, J. Cardiol. 81, 1998, 60B-65B), but safety of such a combination remains an issue (Shepherd, Eur. Heart J. 16, 1995, 5-13). A single drug with a mixed profile combining effective lowering of both LDL-C and triglycerides would provide additional clinical benefit to asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.

[0005] In humans, statins are well tolerated at standard dosage, but reductions in non-sterol intermediates in the cholesterol synthesis pathway, such as isoprenoids and coenzyme Q, may be associated with adverse clinical events at high doses (Davignon et al., Can. J. Cardiol. 8, 1992, 843-864; Pederson and Tobert, Drug Safety 14, 1996, 11-24).

[0006] This has stimulated the search for, and development of compounds that inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, yet act distal to the synthesis of these important, non-sterol intermediates. 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (OSC), a microsomal enzyme, represents a unique target for a cholesterol-lowering drug (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390; Mark et al., J. Lipid Res. 37, 1996, 148-158). OSC is downstream of farnesyl-pyrophosphate, beyond the synthesis of isoprenoids and coenzyme Q. In hamsters, pharmacologically active doses of an OSC inhibitor showed no adverse side-effects, in contrast to a statin which reduced food-intake and body weight, and increased plasma bilirubin, liver weight and liver triglyceride content (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390). The compounds described in European Patent Application No. 636 367, which inhibit OSC and which lower the total cholesterol in plasma, belong to these substances.

[0007] OSC inhibition does not trigger the overexpression of HMGR because of an indirect, negative feed-back regulatory mechanism involving the production of 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol (Peffley et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 56, 1998, 439-449; Nelson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1981, 1067-1068; Spencer et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1985, 13391-13394; Panini et al., J. Lipid Res. 27, 1986, 1190-1204; Ness et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 308, 1994, 420-425). This negative feed-back regulatory mechanism is fundamental to the concept of OSC inhibition because (i) it potentiates synergistically the primary inhibitory effect with an indirect down-regulation of HMGR, and (ii) it prevents the massive accumulation of the precursor monooxidosqualene in the liver. In addition, 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol was found to be one of the most potent agonists of the nuclear receptor LXR (Janowski et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 96, 1999, 266-271). Considering that 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol is a by-product of inhibition of OSC it is hypothesized that the OSC inhibitors of the present invention could also indirectly activate LXR-dependent pathways such as (i) cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase to increase the consumption of cholesterol via the bile acid route, (ii) expression of ABC proteins with the potential to stimulate reverse cholesterol transport and increase plasma HDL-C levels (Venkateswaran et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275, 2000, 14700-14707; Costet et al., J. Biol. Chem. June 2000, in press; Ordovas, Nutr Rev 58, 2000, 76-79, Schmitz and Kaminsky, Front Biosci 6, 2001, D505-D514), and/or inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption (Mangelsdorf, XIIth International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, Stockholm, June 2000). In addition, possible cross talks between fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism mediated by liver LXR have been hypothesized (Tobin et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 14,2000, 741-752).

[0390] Further, the invention relates to compounds as defined above for use as therapeutic active substances, particularly as therapeutic active substances for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with OSC such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis, vascular diseases, mycoses, parasite infections, gallstones, tumors and/or hyperproliferative disorders, and/or treatment and/or prophylaxis of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, preferably for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of hypercholesterolemia and/or hyperlipemia.

[0394] The compounds of formula (I) can be manufactured by the methods given below, by the methods given in the examples or by analogous methods. Appropriate reaction conditions for the individual reaction steps are known to the person skilled in the art. Starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods analogous to the methods given in the examples or by methods known in the art.

[0395] Compounds of formula (I), in which V represents O, NR⁶ or S and Y represents C can be prepared by the method outlined in scheme 1. In scheme 2, the preparation of compounds of formula (I), in which V represents —CH₂—, —CH═CH— or —C≡C— and Y is C is outlined. Scheme 3 shows an overview of the preparation of compounds of formula (I) in which V represents —CH₂—, —CH═CH— or —C≡C— and Y is N.

[0396] In scheme 1, the synthesis is described for an 4-alkylaminobenzene-VH and 4-aminobenzene-VH, such as 4-alkylaminophenol, 4-aminophenol, 4-alkylamino-benzenethiol, 4-amino-benzenethiol or monoprotected 1,4-benzene-diamine, all possibly substituted by a group X. The 4-aminobenzene-VH are commercial available, the 4-alkylaminobenzene-VH are also commercially available or are synthesized by known procedures. 4-Alkyl-sidechain can alternatively be introduced in a later stage of the synthesis.

[0397] N-alkyl-p-anisidine is deprotected for example with 62% aqueous HBr in acetic acid at 110° C. The resulting 4-alkylamino-phenol 1 as an example is then N-BOC-protected (reaction step a) in THF/acetonitril with pyridine (if the aminophenol is a salt) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate at 70° C. Alkylation of the (4-Hydroxy-phenyl)-alkyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester in acetone with K₂CO₃ and a suitable dihaloalkane, dihaloalkene, or a N-protected dihaloalkylaminoalkane (halogene is here represented by bromine, but can be also Cl or I. It is also possible to use mesylates or tosylates instead of halogenides) at reflux yields halogenide 3 (reaction step b). This compound is then converted (reaction step c) to the amine 4 in DMA at RT with an excess of the corresponding amine. Boc deprotection (reaction step d) in CH₂Cl₂ at −20° C. with TFA, following by warming up to room temperature yields the alkyl-aniline 5. This intermediate compound is then converted to the compounds of the present invention 6 by one of the following reactions (step e):

[0398] Sulfonylation of compounds 5 is done in dioxane with Huinigsbase and a sulfonyl chloride over night at RT to give the sulfonamide 6. N-alkylation (in case A⁵═H) under Mitsunobu-conditions in THF with DEAD and the corresponding alcohol results in the final product 6 as a free amine.

[0399] Compounds 5 may be reacted with A⁶OCOCl/Huenigsbase in dioxane or A⁶OH/Cl₃COCl/quinoline (formation of the chloroformate) may be reacted with compound 5 and Huenigsbase.

[0400] Compounds 5 may be reacted with A⁶OCSCl in dioxane.

[0401] Compounds 5 may be reacted with isocyanate in dioxane at room temperature.

[0402] Compounds 5 may be reacted with isothiocyanate in dioxane at room temperature.

[0403] Compounds 5 may be reacted with A⁶COOH/EDCI/DMAP (with anhydride formation, and subsequent addition of the starting amine at −10° C. to room temperature) or as alternative with A⁶COOH/EDCI/DMAP or A⁶COOH/Huenigsbase/EDCI/HOBT in DMF, dioxane or CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature.

[0404] Compounds 5 may be reacted with sulfamoyl chlorides in dioxane in the presence of an excess of triethylamine to give sulfamide 6. The sulfamoyl chlorides are synthesized from A⁶NH₂ and chiorosulfonic acid in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to room temperature followed by reaction with PCl₅ in toluene at 75° C. Alternatively, the sulfamoyl chlorides can be synthesized in acetonitrile with A⁶NH₂ and sulfuryl chloride at 0° C. to 65° C.

[0405] Alternatively, the group A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)L—OH or the mesylate/halogenide of them can be synthesized by known methods and attached to compound 2 (Mitsunobu or alkylating conditions), to give directly amine 6 (reaction step f.

[0406] The amines 6 can optionally be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 7 (reaction of compounds 6 with a mixture of hydrogen peroxid urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH₂Cl₂ at RT, reaction step g).

[0407] Another strategy outlined in scheme 1 is the introduction of the desired group —W—A⁶ in compound 1. The 4-alkylaminophenol salt (e.g. hemisulfate) or another suitable compound as described above is persilylated (reflux in hexamethyldisilazane and evaporated) and reacted with a suitable sulfonyl chloride or chloroformate or is transformed in analogy to reaction step e as described above. Aqueous work-up (deprotection of the V-Silylprotection) yields compound 2.Alkylation of 2 with for example dihaloalkane in DMF with NaH as base yields halogenide 8 (reaction step b). Amination of the halogenide 8 as described above yields the final compound 6, which can optionally be transformed to salts or to the N-oxide 7.

[0408] A third possibility which is described in Scheme 1 is the deprotection of Boc-protected compound 3 (in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to RT with TFA during 20 min) which yields compound 9. With this compound, introduction of the W-A⁶ group (which yields compound 8 in analogy to reaction step e as described above) followed by amination to the final compound 6 (reaction step c) as described above is also possible.

[0409] In scheme 2, the preparation of compounds of formula (I), in which V represents —CH₂—, —CH═CH— or —C≡C— and Y is C is outlined starting from 4-Iodoaniline I as an example, which is BOC-protected with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in THF for 30 h at 80° C. and N-alkylated with A⁵-halogenide in THF at −18° C. to RT with 55 % NaH as base to yield compound 2 (reaction step a). Sonogashira-coupling (reaction step b) of the iodo-aniline derivative 2 and a suitable alkinol in piperidine with Pd(PPh₃)₄/Cul at 45° C. to 80° C. in analogy to a literature procedure [Stara, Irena G.; Stary, Ivo; Kollarovic, Adrian; Teply, Filip; Saman, David; Fiedler, Pavel. Coupling reactions of halobenzenes with alkynes. The synthesis of phenylacetylenes and symmetrical or unsymmetrical 1,2-diphenylacetylenes. Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. (1999), 64(4), 649-672.] yields alcohol 3. Mesylation with methanesulfonylchloride/pyridine/DMAP (reaction step c) and subsequent amination (reaction step d) of the resulting mesylate 4 with a suitable amine in DMA at RT yields the amine 5. Boc-deprotection of 5 (reaction step e) in CH₂Cl₂ at a temperature between 0° C. and RT with TFA during 20 min yields te aniline derivative 6. This intermediate compound is then converted to the compounds of the present invention 7 by introduction of the desired W-A⁶ group (reaction step f) in analogy to the methods described above in context with scheme 1.

[0410] Optionally the alkine side chain can be hydrogenated in MeOH/dioxane/AcOH with Pd/C₁₀% and hydrogene at I atm (reaction step g) to yield the corresponding saturated compound 7 in which V CH₂-.

[0411] Alternatively compound 2 can be BOC-deprotected and the desired W—A⁶ group can be introduced as described above (reaction steps e, i) to yield compound 9. The group A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)L-acethylene can then be synthesized by known methods (see for example Imada, Yasushi; Yuasa, Mari; Nakamura, Ishin; Murahashi, Shun-Ichi. Copper(I)-Catalyzed Amination of Propargyl Esters. Selective Synthesis of Propargylamines, 1-Alken-3-ylamines, and (Z)-Allylamines. J. Org. Chem. (1994), 59(9), 2282-4) and attached to compound 9 (Sonogashira-coupling), to yield the compounds of the present invention 7 (reaction step b).

[0412] The compounds 7 can optionally be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 8 (reaction of compounds 7 with a mixture of hydrogen peoxid urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH₂Cl₂ at RT, reaction step g).

[0413] Scheme 3 shows an overview of the preparation of compounds of formula (I) in which V represents —CH₂—, —CH═CH— or —C≡C— and Y is N. As an example, BOC-protection of 2-amino-5-bromopyrimdine 1 with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in THF/CH₃CN with pyridine/DMAP at a temperature between RT and 80° C. yields the di-BOC-pyrimidine 2 (reaction step a). Sonogashira-coupling of compound 2 with a suitable alkinol in DMF with Et₃N, CuI PdCl₂(dppf).CH₂CI₂ at 80° C. in analogy to a literature procedure [The synthesis followed a procedure of Arco Y. Jeng; Design and Synthesis of Potent, Selective Inhibitors of Endothelin-Converting Enzyme, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry; 1998; 41(9); 1513-1523.] yields alcohol 3 (reaction step b). Mesylation with methanesulfonylchloride/pyridine/DMAP (reaction step c) and subsequent amination (reaction step d) of the resulting mesylate 4 with a suitable amine in DMA at RT yields the amine 5. Compound 6 is obtained after Boc-deprotection in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to RT with TFA during 20 min (reaction step e). Sulfonylation of compound 6 with a suitable sulfonyl chloride in pyridine at 70° C. overnight (reaction step f) yields compound 7 which is N-alkylated under Mitsunobu-conditions with triphenylphosphine/DEAD/alkanol in THF at 0° C. to RT (reaction step g) to yield the compounds of the present invention 8.

[0414] Alternatively compounds 10 with suitable W—A⁶ and As groups can be synthesized in analogy to the methods as described above (reaction steps f,g). Other residues A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)L-acethylene can be synthesized by known methods (see for example Imada, Yasushi; Yuasa, Mari; Nakamura, Ishin; Murahashi, Shun-Ichi. Copper(I)-Catalyzed Amination of Propargyl Esters. Selective Synthesis of Propargylamines, 1-Alken-3-ylamines, and (Z)-Allylamines. J. Org. Chem. (1994), 59(9), 2282-4) and attached to compounds 10 (Sonogashira-coupling), to yield the compounds 8 (reaction step b) in analogy to the methods described above.

[0415] The compounds 8 can optionally be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 9 (reaction step h) by the methods described above.

[0416] The following tests were carried out in order to determine the activity of the compounds of formula I and their salts.

[0417] Inhibition of Human Liver Microsomal 2,3-Oxidosqualene-Lanosterol Cyclase (OSC)

[0418] Liver microsomes from a healthy volunteer were prepared in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The OSC activity was measured in the same buffer, which also contained 1 mM EDTA and 1 mM dithiothreitol. The microsomes were diluted to 0.8mg/ml protein in cold phosphate buffer. Dry [¹⁴C]R,S-monooxidosqualene (MOS, 12.8 mCi/mmol) was diluted to 20 nCi/μl with ethanol and mixed with phosphate buffer-1% BSA (bovine serum albumin). A stock solution of 1 mM test substance in DMSO was diluted to the desired concentration with phosphate buffer-1% BSA. 40 μl of microsomes were mixed with 20 μl of the solution of the test substance and the reaction was subsequently started with 20 μl of the [¹⁴C]R,S-MOS solution. The final conditions were: 0.4mg/ml of microsomal proteins and 30 μl of [14C]R,S-MOS in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 0.5% albumin, DMSO <0.1% and ethanol <2%, in a total volume of 80 μl.

[0419] After 1 hour at 37° C. the reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.6 ml of 10% KOH-methanol, 0.7ml of water and 0.1 ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) which contained 25 μg of non-radioactive MOS and 25 μg of lanosterol as carriers. After shaking, 1 ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) was added to each test tube, these were again shaken and then centrifuged. The upper phase was transferred into a glass test tube, the lower phase was again extracted with hexane:ether and combined with the first extract. The entire extract was evaporated to dryness with nitrogen, the residue was suspended in 50 μl of hexane:ether and applied to a silica gel plate. Chromatographic separation was effected in hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) as the eluent. The Rf values for the MOS substrate and the lanosterol product were 0.91 and, respectively, 0.54. After drying, radioactive MOS and lanosterol were observed on the silica gel plate. The ratio of MOS to lanosterol was determined from the radioactive bands in order to determine the yield of the reaction and OSC inhibition.

[0420] The test was carried out on the one hand with a constant test substance concentration of 100 nM and the percentage OSC inhibition against controls was calculated. The more preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit inhibitions larger than 50%. In addition, the test was carried out with different test substance concentrations and subsequently the IC₅₀ value was calculated, i.e. the concentration required to reduce the conversion of MOS into lanosterol to 50% of the control value. The preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit IC₅₀ values of 1 nM to 10 μM, preferrably of 1-100 nM.

[0421] The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and esters can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for enteral, parenteral or topical administration. They can be administered, for example, perorally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions or infusion solutions, or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils.

[0422] The production of the pharmaceutical preparations can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art by bringing the described compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants.

[0423] Suitable carrier materials are not only inorganic carrier materials, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for example, lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used as carrier materials for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carrier materials for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, required in the case of soft gelatine capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar and the like. Suitable carrier materials for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol and vegetable oils. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. Suitable carrier materials for topical preparations are glycerides, semi-synthetic and synthetic glycerides, hydrogenated oils, liquid waxes, liquid paraffins, liquid fatty alcohols, sterols, polyethylene glycols and cellulose derivatives.

[0424] Usual stabilizers, preservatives, wetting and emulsifying agents, consistency-improving agents, flavour-improving agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, solubilizers, colorants and masking agents and antioxidants come into consideration as pharmaceutical adjuvants.

[0425] The dosage of the compounds of formula I can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. For adult patients a daily dosage of about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, especially about 50 mg to about 500 mg, comes into consideration for the prevention and control of topical and systemic infections by pathogenic fungi. For cholesterol lowering and treatment of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes the daily dosage conveniently amounts to between 1 and 1000mg, preferably 10 to 100mg, for adult patients. Depending on the dosage it is convenient to administer the daily dosage in several dosage units.

[0426] The pharmaceutical preparations conveniently contain about 1-500 mg, preferably 10-100 mg, of a compound of formula I.

[0427] The following Examples serve to illustrate the present invention in more detail. They are, however, not intended to limit its scope in any manner.

[0430] General remarks

[0431] All reactions were performed under argon.

[0432] The purification of the final amines by preparative HPLC [e.g. RP-18, acetonitrile (0.1% HCOOH)/water (0.1% HCOOH), 10% to 95% acetonitrile] yielded mixtures of the corresponding amino formiate and the corresponding halogenide which was used in the reaction. The ratio was not always determined, the purity the final amino salts was >80% after LC-MS.
